Configuring Accela Silverlight GIS for Mobile Office Offline Mapping

Accela Silverlight GIS integrates with Mobile Office version 7.x.

When Mobile Office users are offline, they must work from a map stored locally in their wireless device. The map and related map data that users access in offline mode are configured in the Accela Silverlight GIS Administration site using ArcGIS Engine. ArcGIS Engine is leveraged by Mobile Office for offline mapping. ArcGIS Engine downloads offline data from the Accela Silverlight GIS Administration site to a local client machine and facilitates offline mapping functionality.

When you configure a map integration for Mobile Office Offline Mapping, you must create a data package. A data package includes the map layer information that Mobile Office users can access and modify when they work offline. When Mobile Office users connect online, they can upload the changes to the Accela Silverlight GIS Server.

The following are the required steps to set up a map integration environment for Mobile Office Offline Mapping:

• Integrating Your Environment

• Setting up a Map Service Connection

• Defining User Groups and Permissions

• Managing Offline Map Data

When you configure a map integration environment, you can modify the configuration settings. For example, you might want to add a map provider or modify user group permission levels. To modify map integration environment settings, follow the steps described in Modifying Map Integration Settings.

Finally, you can access the Global Variable Settings page and modify the Accela Silverlight GIS Administration site password, customize map labels to accommodate different languages, and configure global display settings. For instructions on how to configure these settings, follow the steps described in Configuring Agency Settings.
